Abstract
A seat frame carries a serpentine spring which carriers a cushion comprising a foam slab enclosed within a fabric cover having a zipper for removing the slab from within the cover. The cushion is attached to the front of the seat frame with threaded fasteners engaging a rigid strip within the cushion at the bottom front portion thereof. The cushion is attached to the rear of the seat frame with snap fasteners. A back panel member cooperates with the fasteners to prevent pilferage of the seat cushion.
